History Manhattan
Samuel J. Tilden was elected Governor of New York in 1874, and to celebrate, socialite Jenny Jerome threw a party at the Manhattan Club in New York City.
Jerome asked the bartender to create a drink for the occasion. The bartender mixed 1 1/2 ounces bourbon, 1 1/4 ounces each of sweet and dry
vermouth, and a dash of bitters. It met with Jerome’s approval and she named the drink the "Manhattan," after the club.
Jenny Jerome later earned her place in history as she later became Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of Sir Winston Churchill, one of England's most famous Prime Ministers.
The Manhattan became a classic cocktail that has survived a number of changes over the years and is presently enjoying a comeback alongside its cousin, the Martini.

Tips on making a Manhattan
Don’t be shy with the ice and make sure you shake the ingredients for at least 20 to 30 seconds. There is no shaken vs. stirred debate with a Manhattan -- always shake.
Serve your Manhattan in a Martini/cocktail glass. You can also try an old-fashioned or lowball glass (some even prefer Manhattans on the rocks).
